New Hampshire has become the 21st state to abolish the death penalty in the United States
Following Sununu's veto of a bill repealing the state's death penalty earlier this month, the state House voted to override it last week, and on Thursday, the state Senate voted to override as well. The language of the bill said it would go into effect after passage, meaning as of Thursday, New Hampshire eliminated the state's rarely invoked option for capital punishment.
— Chris Sununu May 30, 2019 The bill repealing the death penalty stated that a person convicted of a capital murder"shall be sentenced to imprisonment for life without the possibility for parole" and struck the provision allowing for the death penalty. The bill said the repeal would apply to people convicted"on or after" passage of the measure.
